Rain, thunderstorms, hail in some areas, with flash flood warnings.
TB, mid July is when the hottest days show up in Arizona, at least from my memory from mid July to the first two weeks of August's. This back in 94' to 96', 95' just stayed indoors most of the time.
95 with a 107 heat index. High humidity and hot as hell. Looks like we're probably heading for Louisiana tomorrow or Friday to work the tropical mess in the Gulf.

Same here TB. Right now it's 94 but high suppose to be 96. Sunny and clear. In my condo complex they have workers putting new roofs on some buildings. Man, I feel sorry for them. They've got to be roasting.
Miserable this morning, and it's not even 10 am yet. Dew Point 74F and a Heat Index of 88F. (now 91 at 10am). Even with a 22mph breeze from the south gusting to 32mph.

We are having the hottest summer ever in AZ, with more 110+ degree days in Phoenix than ever before. Real hot up here in the High Country, too. Also, no rain--and this is monsoon season. Very bad.
Right now... it's warmer in Anchorage, Alaska than it is in Dallas. It's 19F there now. It's 11F in Dallas, and the HIGH for Dallas tomorrow is ... 11F!!!
It's 5 where I'm at. Electricity off and on all night.
Sunday my power was off, and after 24 hours without power in the extreme cold, I went to stay with a relative for 5 days.
The Texas Statewide Polar Vortex of 2021
Is there a way to winterize Natural gas wellheads to prevent them from freezing up in extreme cold??? The limited natural gas delivery caused problems for homes and businesses that heat by natural gas. Heat in an office, plant, or school building in extreme cold is vital to prevent the pressurized fire suppression pipes from bursting.
Add to that, no heat in an all electric home, because natural gas flow has been restricted to power generation plants, because of frozen natural gas wellheads.
And then, there's the power generation plants, of all kinds, that need to be winterized.
Electricity blackouts ceased this past Thursday. Water boiling ceased Saturday.
Man , you guys had a rough go of it.
Rain here today in NY, it will melt all the snow.
Yeah, but it was all a hoax; fake weather. The government mandated chlorine in our water one hundred years ago just for this purpose: to blind us to hoaxes by chemically manipulating our minds. Did you notice how quickly the bad weather went away? A couple of days ago it was freezing and today it's 60. How'd that happen? Hoax! Fake weather! The government created AIDS, polio and Lyme disease. Then there’s that Satanic cabal led by Hillary Clinton. Also, the earth is indeed flat and Noah had dinosaurs on the Ark. Madonne!
We had three days of on/off snow showers here in the High Desert. It can snow up here even when the temp is in the low 40's. Luckily, the temp remained in the high 30's, and whatever stuck soon melted. We had two feet in one day in January.
June 16, 2021 (Reuters) - Searing heat across the U.S. Southwest and soaring electricity demand for air conditioners this week are prompting grid operators in Texas and California to warn consumers about energy conservation to avoid outages.
DFW - 80F at 10am -- Feels like 84F and the Dew Point is 73° and the Dew Point will remain 73°-74° until 4am Sat. The Dew Point will remain above 65° for the foreseeable future.
Ida is forecast to hit the industrial corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, site of three key ports, petrochemical sites, and a nuclear power plant.
A mandatory evacuation was issued for portions of New Orleans outside of their levee system on Friday, and a voluntary evacuation for inside the levee system. However, no mandatory evacuation was ordered for the city because officials judged there was insufficient time to set up contraflow, having all lanes of traffic converted to lead out of town.
Many have criticized this decision, but New Orleans found itself in an impossible situation: the city needs a full 72 hours to fully evacuate, and making reliable intensity forecasts that far in advance is very difficult. We will have to accept New Orleans’ vulnerability to major hurricanes unless tens of billions are spent to upgrade the city’s defenses to category 5 capability. As discussed in yesterday’s post, there is reason to be optimistic that New Orleans’ levee system will withstand Ida’s storm surge: The 7-11? surge predicted for the city is below the maximum surge that Hurricane Isaac of 2012 brought.
In less than 24 hours, from a high of 74F yesterday afternoon, to a low including wind chill of 4F this morning, a difference of ---70--- degrees ! ! !
The dew point is the temperature the air needs to be cooled to (at constant pressure) in order to achieve a relative humidity (RH) of 100%. At this point the air cannot hold more water in the gas form. If the air were to be cooled even more, water vapor would have to come out of the atmosphere in the liquid form, usually as fog or precipitation.
The higher the dew point rises, the greater the amount of moisture in the air. This directly affects how "comfortable" it will feel outside. Many times, relative humidity can be misleading. For example, a temperature of 30 and a dew point of 30 will give you a relative humidity of 100%, but a temperature of 80 and a dew point of 60 produces a relative humidity of 50%. It would feel much more "humid" on the 80 degree day with 50% relative humidity than on the 30 degree day with a 100% relative humidity. This is because of the higher dew point.
So if you want a real judge of just how "dry" or "humid" it will feel outside, look at the dew point instead of the RH. The higher the dew point, the muggier it will feel.
General comfort levels USING DEW POINT that can be expected during the summer months:
0 to 55: dry and comfortable
between 55 and 65: becoming "sticky" with muggy evenings
greater than 65: lots of moisture in the air, becoming oppressive
My fav new channel on the Roku Channel is Fox Weather CH 164 - I love the 3D weather radar graphics and the really cool music in the Night Light programming.
It's also available locally OTA in DFW on KDFI CH 27.6

Feet of snow to bury Buffalo as potentially historic lake-effect event looms
A winter storm watch has been issued for parts of western New York ahead of a long-duration lake-effect snow event that could produce potentially record-setting amounts of 3 to 6 feet.
The Buffalo metro area was hit particularly hard, with some areas south of the city receiving more than 5 feet of snow by early Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, the suburb of Orchard Park, home to the NFL’s Buffalo Bills, reported 77 inches (196 centimeters) by early Saturday. About 80 miles (129 kilometers) northeast of the city, the town of Natural Bridge, near the Fort Drum Army base, reported just under 6 feet.
The inundation forced the National Football League to move Sunday’s game between the Bills and Cleveland Browns to Detroit.
The National Weather Service predicted partial sunshine and a break from the snow on Saturday in New York, but not for long.
“Later on this evening and through early next week, we’re expecting another round of lake-effect snow for much of western New York,” National Weather Service meteorologist Zack Taylor told The Associated Press.
Power outages have left about 1.4 million homes and businesses in the dark, according to the website PowerOutage, which tracks utility reports. Utilities in Nashville, Memphis and throughout the Tennessee Valley said they were implementing rolling blackouts Friday to conserve power as the region battles an extreme cold front.
And more than 4,600 flights within, into or out of the U.S. were canceled Friday, according to the tracking site FlightAware, causing more mayhem as travelers try to make it home for the holidays.
Pittsburgh's been below zero for 24 hours, which can happen but is very unusual for December, and then there's the wind that's just cruising at 25 mph. I have an elderly dog who has to go out periodically and who really needs someone with him - this is definitely the worst weather in the decade we've been out in the elements together.
9:00 A.M. On Sunday Erie County County Executive Mark Poloncarz said the travel ban will remain in effect due to more snow accumulating Saturday night. Also, that there are 26, 000 power outages in Erie County and 20,000 in Buffalo. He said the earliest power will be restored is Monday.
Poloncarz said there were four deaths overnight in Erie County from the winter storm, totaling seven deaths as of this morning.
As of Sunday, San Bernardino County estimated that it had made nearly 80% of county-maintained roads in the area passable, meaning that at least one lane was open. But the county noted that state and county plows are not allowed onto private property and residents will have to call in contractors to do those jobs.
New atmospheric river to raise flood risk, drop more mountain snow in California
A significant flood threat is forecast for California later this week as a storm with milder air drops heavy rain over higher elevations that have been socked by frequent rounds of heavy snow this winter.
Barely two weeks after the last heat wave, the south of Spain is experiencing another heat wave. In parts of Andalusia, the mercury rose to 44 degrees on Monday. In Italy, the situation is even more worrying. There the European record comes into view with temperatures of 48 degrees that are predicted.
To add to the record heat we're experiencing here in AZ (evcn in the high desert where I live): On Sunday afternoon, we heard a muffled "boom" and the house shook. Turned out we were feeling a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that struck about 20 miles north of us. No damage or injuries. What's next? A volcano?

Those who do not give real caution to the Flood/Flash Flood WARNINGS will be putting themselves in Life-Threatening situations. The NWS has said these flash floods will develop quicker than expected in the Warning Zones!!!
THE WEAKENING OF THE HURRICANE WINDS DOES NOT REDUCE THE RAINFALL HAZARDS.
It is miserable down in Bama. Heat index is 109 here today and will be going up the next week. Actual temps hovering at 102 by Saturday. I’m living in hell literally
Perfect weather here again today in NY on Long Island.
Idid take notice of a Hurricane forming ( Franklin) but it looks like it will remain east of us but act up enough to rough the surf and cool my local fishing spots for a few days.
Blue claw crabs should be tiding in so I will get some of those at local docks and cook them in tomato sauce with tomato from the garden.
Idalia is currently forecast to make landfall along Florida's Big Bend region between Apalachicola and Tampa as a Category 3 hurricane. If this happens, it will mark the strongest landfall for the Big Bend region since 1950, when Category 3 Hurricane Easy made landfall in Cedar Key.
Idalia could be strongest hurricane for Big Bend since 1950
A rare blue supermoon, a type of full moon, is set to appear at the end of August.
The moon will be especially big and bright and rise above the Earth's horizon at around 222,000 miles away on the night of Aug. 30, according to NASA. The moon will be a supermoon, or a moon that appears to reach its perigee, the point where it is closest to the center of Earth.
The next blue supermoon is expected to occur January 2037, which is what makes this one rare.

NYC hit by biggest snowstorm in years; over 1,000 flights canceled
A travel-snarling storm buried part of the Northeast on Tuesday, dumping more than a foot of snow and cutting power to over 180,000 homes and businesses across the region.
The storm will create potentially deadly travel conditions along two major arteries in California.
"Donner Pass, California, along Interstate 80 and segments of I-5 in Northern California to Siskiyou Summit in southern Oregon are likely to close," Rayno added.
There is a high risk of motorists becoming stranded due to the incredible snowfall rates and the likelihood that road crews will be unable to keep up with the storm until it concludes late this weekend. This includes roads to and from the ski resorts in the region. Conditions may be life-threatening for those who become stuck outdoors in the storm.
The combination of heavy snow and high winds is likely to lead to power outages that could take many days, if not weeks, to resolve in isolated areas. Those in backwood locations will need a safe means of heat and plenty of food. Experts warn that chimneys and exhaust from furnaces will need to be kept open to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
